16.01.2022 An exciting opportunity exists to bring the essence of our creative Yarra Ranges into our schools! Creative workers can undertake a six-month paid residency in a Victorian government primary or secondary school next year to design and deliver a creative project. In the wake of COVID-19, this provides a short-term working opportunity for creative workers who have been so deeply impacted, as well inspiring budding artists with creative learning opportunities in schools. Creativ...ity in schools improves critical thinking and confidence, encouraging students to problem solve and engage in subject matter on a deeper level. This comes at a time where creative expression, hope and a sense of community are needed more than ever. Expressions of interest are open now for creative practitioners and schools, closing on Mon 7 Dec. Visit bit.ly/CV_CMI.

06.01.2022 COVID-19 came along and for a rare moment in time, the world slowed down. But it's still life. For some in our community this time has meant re-connection and quality time with family, for others it has been a time of loneliness and hardship. There are incredible stories of adaptation and sacrifice, resilience and loss, kinship and community, grief and inspiration. Still Life is a project by Yarra Ranges Council that brings together our stories through writing, photos or vid...eos that tell us about life during COVID-19 in the Yarra Ranges. The submission period is currently open. Share your experience through words, photos or videos. Each week we will post a question on the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum Facebook page that will act as a creative prompt. Join the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum page to follow along with the conversation. Everyone has an important story. Share yours. bit.ly/yarrarangesstilllife #stilllifeyarraranges
